Echigo Blacksmith, Tsukasa Hinoura is the third generation of his family to become a blacksmith. He produces and markets his own Premium knives under his "Tsukasa" brand. He tirelessly tries to find the best way of expressing his own unique skills and his passion for knife making.
Our first impression of his knives was "Honed Beauty" and we could clearly see the expertise, time and passion that he puts in to his blades. They are perfect knives, with beautiful seamless lines and form; there are no sharp corners, no distortion, no gaps etc. He devotes tremendous time to each knife and, from start to finish, he pays attention to every single detail.
This time, Tsukasa Hinoura has just finished making some traditional forged Damascus knives using Hitachi Steel Company’s reliable ATS-34 Stainless Steel (Very similar to 154CM from Crucible Steel).
Beautifully hand polished, the ATS-34 Damascus blades each have a unique Vortex Damascus pattern, which is created by Tsukasa Hinoura's experienced forging process.
Most of Tsukasa Hinoura’s custom knives are made of Carbon Steel, so these rare, Premium Stainless Damascus Steel knives will be especially prized by fans of the Great Artisan, Tsukasa Hinoura, and those who prefer low maintenance, rust resistant stainless steel knives.
The handles are made from some nicely textured Red Sandalwood and have a buffalo horn ferrule. Tsukasa Hinoura carefully selected these Traditional Japanese Wa Handles because he believes their shape is practical, comfortable and allows a precise grip. The handle has a novel shape that is part octagonal at the top and part oval at the bottom.
A limited quantity of Tsukasa Hinoura’s rare ATS-34 Damascus knives are now available!
A mainstay of professional Western kitchens, the Petty knife is a small general-purpose knife used for peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes. The compact size and relatively narrow blade of the Petty knife mean that it is very nimble and controllable, thus it is ideal for making precise cuts.

However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
